The short monsoon is over and sun is out again. The sun’s
scorching heat leaves us pining for something cool. At such times, what a
relief it to come across young little kids with smiling faces, beckoning us to
have some lemonade from their stalls.
Lemonade stalls, such a simple and yet an effective way to
instill entrepreneurship skills in kids at a young age. There are so many ways
in which we can encourage kids to be more responsible at a young age.
My first video game was from the money I earned by selling
ice cream at a fair. It was a great experience and taught me big concepts such
as inventory, sales, marketing, discounting in simple hands on way.
In our effort to provide our child with the best and give
him all the comforts of life, we forget these important lessons that can help
your child form a strong foundation. So go on, encourage them to take up a
small project.
While there are plenty of ideas to help kids understand the
value of money, to instill a sense of creativity in kids and at the same time
help them get awarded for their efforts. Here are a few to get you started. How
about a little arts and crafts show? Get some kids together over the weekend,
help them create small items such as greeting cards, decorative pieces and then
have a small exhibition in the house in the evening.
